Just wondering if there's anyone in Brandon who can convert 8mm video tapes to a high resolution digital format such as .mpg or .avi that I will then be able to edit on my computer and create DVD's from. I want to play the resulting DVD's on a regular DVD player.  
 
I am not looking to receive DVD's back. I've already gone this route and ripping the videos and subsequent editing has resulted in a loss of quality such that the dvd's do not play in a regular DVD player and are very pixelated when viewed on my computer.

There was a place I used a couple years ago to get my dads film changed over. I don't remember the name or even know if it is still open but it was on the corner of 10th street and Lorne almost. If you google maps it it is a grey building behind.... I forget what pizza place. There is actually a banner on the side of the building on google maps that says "Home Video Studio" can't read what else.  
 
If it is the same place I used they were great to work with from what I remember!

Hi there. If you are talking about the small 8 mm video tapes made from a camcorder, I have a small business that I transfer those tapes to either DVD or just to a digital format. I use my Mac computer with a program called Roxio to capture the video. It converts to a .mov file. I am not sure this is what you are wanting. I do have a program that can convert to an avi if you prefer that. I charge $10 per hour of footage to transfer. Usually customers just give me a USB stick or a larger external hard drive for me to put them on. Hope this is of some help. My business Name is: Mert's Odds N Ends and my number is 204-724-5574. Thanks.
